mini_sendmail
mini_sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file and sends a copy of the message found there to all of the addresses listed. The message is sent by connecting to a local SMTP server. This means mini_sendmail can be used to send email from inside a chrooted area.

Recent releases

Changes: mini_sendmail now handles multi-line replies. It supports the use of "--" to mark end of arguments (for mutt compatibility). A -p option was added to specify the port, but this can be disabled at compile time. mini_sendmail now strips the client-supplied angle brackets from addresses before adding its own. The IPv6 code has received some fixes.

Looks like there are at least three projects,
basically solving the same thing:
smtpclient by Ralf Engelshall
nbsmtp by "drysdam"
mini_sendmail by Jef Poskanzer
does not accept "-i"
mini_sendmail does not accept the switch "-i", which is needed for php by default.
solution:
a) change php.ini to contain only "sendmail -t"
b) patch program to ignore "-i" switch.
just a hint ;-)
regards.
mini_sendmail and CC:
I've found what I suppose is a simple bug. If you send
messages containing an empty Cc: line in headers section,
while working with option -t, mini_sendmail sends this line
to the remote SMTP server, which fails with error 501.
Removing the empty Cc: mini_sendmail works great and
the remote smtp server doesn't complain.
Tried using Sendmail aliases "feed to program" via a
simple perl script.
